Valonia macrophysa

Figure 10. E-fracture face of the plasma membrane during active synthesis of ordered microfibrils in secondary wall of Valonia macrophysa. Imprints of microfibrils run parallel to one another. TC s numbered 1 and 2 direct opposite ways to one another.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been applied to surfaces of Valonia macrophysa. The images were compared with surfaces generated from molecular models, and close correspondence was found. The data can be subjected to Fourier transformation to yield a diffraction pattern that can be compared with diffraction patterns made from the model surfaces [212]. The initial images are similar to the lattice images from electron microscopy.

Microciystals of Valonia macrophysa cellulose subjected to the action of celluloses (CeI7A from Humicola insolens) consisting of a hydrolytic core, a cellulose-binding module, and a linker that binds the two enzymic components. The reducing end of the cellulose chains is indicated. R, transmission electron microscopy of the cellulose microciystals before and after the enzyme aetion indieates that Cel7A induced a...
